As our first game of the 2010 season approaches, we did an email Q&A session with the Arizona blog, Arizona Desert Swarm. Joe was kind enough to answer our questions so read below the fold to find get the Wildcat’s take on their matchup with Toledo and how they see things in Tuscon.
As kickoff of the season approaches, it’s time to get back into the MAC Blogger Roundtable.

This season, we bring back a tradition here at LGR that we began when we first started blogging about Toledo football. Each week, we simulate that week’s matchup on a current popular video game to see what results we can expect to see. This year, we’re using EA Sports’ NCAA 2011 for Xbox 360. We simulate each game three times to eliminate any fluke scores / scenarios and report the general consensus on how the game will play out.
To kickoff the 2010 season, we fed the Toledo / Arizona matchup into the console and returned these results… Read More >>
Found this Toledo preview on MAC-Sports.com. Complete with a breakdown of the skill positions on both sides of the ball, this rundown is full of good information pertaining to our Rockets.
To my eyes, the best part of the article is the section about the newcomers to the program and what impact those young players will make, right from the start of the season.
Sophomore Austin Dantin has been named the starting quarterback for the University of Toledo, coach Tim Beckman said on the Mid-American Conference coaches teleconference Monday.
Dantin, who beat out three other candidates, will take the first snap against Arizona on Friday, but Beckman said sophomore David Pasquale will also see time behind center in the wildcat formation.
Good to have the decision and announcement out of the way so everyone can concentrate on the game. Even though it was assumed that Dantin would start, making the pick official allows everyone to settle in and understand what is expected and needed to prepare for this week’s matchup.
Beckman also revealed that senior Alex Pettee will serve as Dantin’s backup and will only play “if need be.” Redshirt freshman Terrance Owens, who had risen to No. 2 on the depth chart last week, has been relegated to fourth string and will only play “in an emergency situation,” Beckman said.
Interesting bit on Owens – moved to 4th for a reason ? Perhaps red-shirting again ?
Caught this Toledo preview over on Football On The Fringe, a great football site devoted “to the idea that there is great, compelling college football in the 5 non-Automatic Qualifying (aka, non-BCS conferences): Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference, and Western Athletic Conference.” Obviously, that mission lies close to that of our own and supporting a non-AQ conference is near and dear to all MAC blogger’s hearts.
Hop this link to read their Toledo preview and then have a look around the site.
